Daily Gold News: February 14 – Gold Price Came Back to $2,000

Paul-Rejczak Paul Rejczak Feb 14, 2024

Gold sold off on consumer inflation data; today, it’s trading along previous lows.

The gold futures contract lost 1.27% on Tuesday, February 13, as it accelerated its short-term downtrend following higher than expected Counsumer Price Index release. Yesterday, gold was the lowest since mid-December, breaking slightly below local lows from January.

In late January, gold was declining, but it quickly recovered losses, remaining above $2,000 mark. In early February, it bounced to the local high of $2,083.20, but then it declined and broke below the $2,050 level.

This morning gold is trading slightly below its yesterday’s close, as we can see on the daily chart (the chart includes today’s intraday data):

The gold price is 0.1% lower, as it is trading along the $2,000 level. What about the other precious metals? Silver is 0.3% lower, platinum is 1.2% higher and palladium is 1.4% higher. So the main precious metals’ prices are slightly lower this morning.

Yesterday’s Consumer Price Index release has been higher than expected at +0.3% m/m and +3.1% y/y. Today, we won’t get any new important economic data. The markets will be waiting for tomorrow’s Retail Sales number.
